What is monosaccharide?
Any monosaccharide, often known as simple sugar, is one of the fundamental substances that forms the basis of carbohydrates.
Some features of monosaccharide are-
- With some more than a hydroxyl group (OH) as well as a carbonyl group (C=O) either in the final carbon atom (aldose) or on the second carbon atom, monosaccharides constitute polyhydroxy aldehydes as well as ketones (ketose).
- A cyclic molecule is created when one hydroxyl group and the carbonyl group interact in an aqueous solution (hemi-acetal or hemi-ketal).
- A crystalline, water-soluble monosaccharide is the end product.
- Dioses, trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, and heptoses are the different types of monosaccharides according on the quantity of carbon atoms they contain. The majority have five or six.
